help please.

Answer 1

A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or shows the result of the action. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb. An action verb with a direct object is called a transitive verb. SOOOOO.. What's your guess? ^.^

Answer 2

'b'?

Answer 3

Larry

Answer 4

@nathanff Please do not give direct answers without an explanation, you could be giving the asker a wrong answer, also it's against the code of conduct.

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

well ahendrics what is the verb reffering to?

Answer 7

Larry, right?

Answer 8

@ahendricks4 Referring to my definition, we can infer that in the sentence; "Larry handed his older brother the potatoes." Since the direct object is the noun or pronoun RECEIVING the action, then what's your guess?

Answer 9

who was it handed to?

Answer 10

take a guess

Answer 11

Since, you've given your guess and tried, I'll explain what the answer is. It would be 'C':Brother, because Larry's older brother is the one receiving the potatoes. Again, the definition of a direct object is; A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or shows the result of the action. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb. An action verb with a direct object is called a transitive verb. Make sense? ^.^
